Paul had decided to go see the commander Hernando Vargas, who was in his tent/command center. Paul pushed aside the flaps and entered it was plain. A map of the city, a table with a radio, a second table where the commander sat. Commander Vargas looked up:

"Solider?"

"Vargas?"

"That's Commander Vargas to you solider."

"Comeon, must we be so formal?"

"Yes. We're not friends, if you remember correctly." Hernando (Red-X) said his voice becoming angry

"Sorry, I only came to see you, to ask that you forgive an old man's mistakes."

"Well I can't."

"Well then fine." Said Paul turning to leave

"Before you leave tell me why you are here?"

"To seek out an old friend. You?"

"Ohh to fight for democracy, the Finnish Government and whatever that pamphlet said."

"Hmm."

Paul walked out of the tent

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

All the soldiers had been assembled, They were waiting to hear an announcement from Valenski Garland Commander of all soldiers in Saint Petersburg. Slolwy he stepped onto a makeshift stage and took a megaphone.

"Soldiers, men, comrades. Yesterday we fought a bloody battle to secure a beach head, and for the next two months we must fight a hard battle to reach the center of the city, only then can we finally crush the communists. It won't be easy, but you will all fight well and you will be responsible for bringing democracy to Mother Russia!" and with that (most) of the soldier broke into cheers.

"Comrades," said the division captain "In order to capture the city there are several key targets we must eliminate, 1," the man threw his yard stick down on the southern part of the city "We presume that they have no air power however there's an old air strip, and if there's some air power it must be taken out. 2" Through his yard stick another place "There's a major fortress that is located on the most eastern side used to bombard ships in Lake Ladoga, however the garrison commander has turned the cannons around to bombard us in the city. 3rd and finally" Puts his yard stick in the center of the city "The Winter Palace it is the center of the government, it has been fortified to withstand almost anything. We must take it."

Paul sat around a small fire with some soldiers, He looked over and saw another soldier sitting alone He walked over to him and sat next to him,

"Hey."

The Soldier didn't respond only looked into the fire.

"Brutal fighting." He suddenly said. "That's what it's going to be."

"How do you know that?"

"Because during training they showed us footage of the Red Army in Berlin back in the 40's, of course my grandfather was there so I know the terrors from his stories."

"I see," said Paul also looking into the fire

"Both of us will be luck to get through alive."

"Yeah." Said Paul
